A heavy, squared sans with generously rounded corners and a superellipse-driven geometry. Strokes are uniform and monolinear, with broad proportions and tight internal counters that create a dense, stamped look. Curves resolve into flattened arcs and straight segments, giving letters like C, G, and S a rounded-rectangle silhouette, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) stay crisp and angular. The lowercase is similarly constructed, with single-storey a and g, short ascenders, and sturdy, rectangular punctuation-like terminals throughout.
Best suited to display settings where bold, geometric shapes can carry the message—headlines, titles, branding marks, apparel graphics, and packaging. It also works well for UI labels or wayfinding-style graphics when set large, where the squared-round construction stays clear and distinctive.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, with a techno-industrial feel. Its chunky forms and rounded-square curves suggest modern hardware, arcade and sci‑fi interfaces, and high-impact sports branding rather than editorial subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a disciplined, modular construction: rounded-square curves, uniform stroke weight, and compact counters that emphasize bold silhouettes. It aims for a modern, engineered personality that stays friendly through softened corners while retaining a strong, mechanical backbone.
Counters are notably small in several glyphs (e.g., B, 8, a, e), boosting visual weight and creating strong silhouette recognition at display sizes. Spacing and sidebearings read compact, contributing to a solid, banner-friendly texture in the paragraph sample.
